your idea of swapping out Ram will also work but isn't very time efficient although it is the cheapest way.

yes, the problem with it is that it's impossible to predict when the reboot will occur so it's hard to know whether it's fixed or not, but i really dislike the idea of carrying the damned thing to the store (it's very heavy to carry, plus i live on the 4th floor with no elevator, and the staircase is quite narrow. when i carried down my old tower which i was giving away i scraped all my fingers repeatedly.
).

Is the computer still covered under store warranty? If you have warranty coverage then they will be able to swap out any faulty hardware. Hope that helps.

yes it should be, i know i have at least 1 year warranty and maybe 2 on everything. i'll have to check.
i'm going to investigate the ram chkdsk apps now.
